<title>ACEA welcomes EU-China interim deal as positive step towards easing trade tensions</title>
<description><div class="intro block-container"><p>Brussels, 9 October 2026 – ACEA welcomes the announcement by the European Commission and China of an interim deal to address critical trade imbalances. While we wait to analyse the full details of the agreement, this announcement is a positive step in easing trade tensions between the two. </p></div>
<div class="cntnt block-container">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;European automobile manufacturing has thrived for decades through open and fair competition. However, the sudden and rapid rise in imports of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) from China is having a destabilising effect on the European car market. In H1 2026, the market share of Chinese brands in Europe was 14% for hybrid electric vehicles (up from 2% in 2024) and 25% for plug-in hybrids (up from 2% in 2024).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A sharp and sudden destabilisation of the market in Europe, along with price wars that mirror the current market situation in China, would be highly disruptive to the European economy as whole” said Sigrid de Vries, Director-General of ACEA. “Today’s announcement can help facilitate the transition to a new era of Chinese presence in the European market in an orderly way and this is in the long-term interests of all parties.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While today’s announcement is a step in a positive direction, other important issues will need to be addressed in due course, including how imports might disrupt the market in segments such as buses and trucks.</p>

<title>New car registrations: +5.3% in August 2026 year-to-date; battery-electric 21.7% market share</title>
<description><div class="intro block-container"><p>New EU car registrations increased by 5.3% year-to-date, against a backdrop of rising energy prices and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. Demand for a range of electrified vehicles remained strong, driven by market support measures and a broader model offering.</p></div>

<div class="cntnt block-container">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hybrid-electric vehicles ranked as the most popular powertrain choice amongst buyers, while battery-electric cars accounted for 21.7% of new EU car registrations. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrids captured 10% of the EU market.</p>
<h2 id="h-new-eu-car-registrations-by-power-source" class="wp-block-heading">New EU car registrations by power source</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Up until August 2026</strong>, battery-electric cars held a 21.7% share of the EU market, up from 15.8% a year earlier. Hybrid-electric car registrations captured 36.6% of the market, remaining the preferred choice among EU consumers. At the same time, the combined market share of petrol and diesel cars fell to 29%, compared with 37.5% a year earlier.</p>

<h3 id="h-electric-cars" class="wp-block-heading">Electric cars</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In the first eight months of 2026</strong>, 1,641,333 new battery-electric cars were registered, capturing 21.7% of the EU market. Three of the four largest EU markets, which together accounted for 64% of all battery-electric car registrations, recorded strong growth: France (+74.2%), Germany (+53.1%), and Denmark (+40.9%). Belgium also posted an increase (+13.1%), albeit at a slower pace.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>August 2026 YTD’s</strong> figures also showed new EU hybrid-electric car registrations rising to 2,759,718 units, supported by growth in Spain (+21%) and Italy (+20.5%), with Germany (+5.2%) and France (+1.8%) also recording increases. Overall, hybrid-electric models accounted for 36.6% of the total EU market.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plug-in-hybrid electric car registrations continued to grow, reaching 758,082 units in <strong>January-August 2026</strong>. This was driven by rising volumes in key markets such as Italy (+77.6%), Spain (+33.9%), and Germany (+15.6%). New plug-in-hybrid electric cars now represent 10% of EU registrations, up from 8.8% over the same period in 2025.</p>
<h3 id="h-petrol-and-diesel-cars" class="wp-block-heading">Petrol and diesel cars</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>By the end of August 2026</strong>, petrol car registrations fell 18.6%, experiencing significant downturns across all major European markets. France saw the sharpest decline, with volumes plunging by 35.8%, while other key markets also posted double-digit losses: Spain (-18.5%), Germany (-21.9%), and Italy (-16.7%).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Accounting for 1,634,733 new cars registered over the <strong>past eight months</strong>, petrol’s market share fell to 21.7% from 28% last year. In addition, the diesel car market continued its downward trend, with registrations declining by 18.6% and representing 7.3% of new EU car registrations, down from 9.4%.</p>

<title>European truckmakers: enabling conditions years behind, 2030 CO2 compliance timeline needs adjustment</title>
<description><div class="intro block-container"><p>Hanover, 14 September 2026 – In an extraordinary appearance on one stage together, the CEOs of Europe’s seven leading truck and bus manufacturers warned today, at the IAA Transportation in Hanover, that Europe’s shift to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles is still being held back by an alarming delay in the conditions that are needed to drive market uptake. They called on European and national policymakers to urgently close the gap as well as adjust the 2030 CO2 compliance timeline.</p></div>
<div class="cntnt block-container">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">European truck and bus manufacturers remain fully committed to the EU’s ambitious CO2 reduction targets. After years of investments, a full range of competitive zero-emission vehicles for all major use cases is available today. But the conditions that transport operators need to adopt these vehicles at scale and operate them competitively are now at least three years behind and are still not developing fast enough. Persistently low zero-emission market shares and a highly uneven uptake across Europe are clear indications.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just 2.4% of new heavy-duty truck registrations in Europe are zero-emission today. However, in major truck markets such as Poland, Spain and Italy, the share is still well below 1%. Even in Germany and France, Europe’s two largest truck markets, it stands at only 4.3% and 2.4%. With only 45 months remaining until the 2030 CO2 targets apply, the gap between current market uptake and the pace of transition towards 2030 remains substantial. Closing this gap requires zero-emission trucks to make economic sense for transport operators and that depends on charging and grid access, energy costs, CO2-based road tolls and a coherent supportive policy framework. Most of the conditions that determine whether operators can make the switch must be created by actors other than manufacturers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Karin Rådström, President and CEO of Daimler Truck and Chair of ACEA’s Commercial Vehicle Board:</strong> “We are fully committed to sustainable transport – the investments have been made, and a wide range of CO2-free vehicles is available today. But making them commercially viable at scale also depends on the wider ecosystem that is clearly delayed and not yet developing fast enough. This means two things: doubling down on the enabling conditions fast, and for the EU to delay the 2030 compliance timeline by three years, to prevent penalties for manufacturers.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Responsibility and control are clearly misaligned. Manufacturers face crippling financial penalties if their new fleets fail to meet the CO2 targets. Their compliance, however, depends on decisions made across the wider value chain.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the market uptake remains too low for manufacturers to meet their 2030 obligations, imposing penalties for non-compliance would not put more zero-emission trucks on the road. It would instead divert billions of euros from the technologies and production capacity needed for the transition, while weakening European manufacturers just as global competition intensifies.</p>

<li>ACEA members’ portfolios of zero-emission trucks and buses for every kind of operation, from urban and regional transport to long-haul, are available here: <a href="https://www.acea.auto/news/driving-europes-green-transition-with-zero-emission-trucks-and-buses/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.acea.auto/news/driving-europes-green-transition-with-zero-emission-trucks-and-buses/</a></li>
<li>Manufacturers have to reduce the CO2 emissions of new vehicles by -43% (2030), -64% (2035) and -90% (2040). If manufacturers fail to do that, they face penalties of 4.250 EUR per g/CO2 per vehicle. Missing the 2030 target by just three percentage points, would lead to approximately €2.2 billion in penalties.</li>
<li>Earlier this year, the Commission introduced a targeted amendment to the CO2 regulation, which provides additional flexibility in calculating emission credits for 2025 to 2029 without changing the binding CO2 reduction targets or the non-compliance penalties.<ul><li>The adjustment was a necessary and proportionate correction to reflect the slow development of critical enabling conditions. It is a risk-smoothing mechanism with clearly defined limits (e.g. it applies only to credit generation during 2025 to 2029; it does not award credits automatically; manufacturers must reduce their actual fleet emissions below the relevant benchmark; the non-compliance penalties remain unchanged).</li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The structural delivery gap remains unresolved. Manufacturers can develop and market ZEVs, but they cannot independently deliver charging and refuelling infrastructure, grid connections, competitive energy prices or viable operating conditions (TCO) for transport companies.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The following enabling conditions need to be substantially improved:<ul><li><strong>Accelerating the deployment of dedicated charging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles.</strong> Fewer than 2,000 public chargers suitable for trucks are available across Europe today, while at least 700 additional truck chargers are needed every month. Fewer than a dozen hydrogen refuelling stations are operational and even these face major operational constraints.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>Speeding up grid connections for depot and public charging infrastructure.</strong> Connecting new charging sites to the power grid can take several years, delaying deployment even where operators and infrastructure providers are ready to invest.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>Putting in place a coherent policy framework that supports the business case for zero-emission trucks across all member states</strong>. CO2-based road charging is effectively in place in only four member states, while necessary changes to Weights &amp; Dimensions rules needed to address the payload disadvantage of zero-emission trucks have still not been adopted.</li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Ensuring that energy and carbon-pricing policies support the transition.</strong> The introduction of the ETS2 has been delayed to 2028, while energy costs remain a critical factor in whether zero-emission trucks can be operated competitively. Revenues from ETS2 and road charging should be reinvested to support infrastructure and vehicle uptake.</li>

<title>Urgent call to recognise Aluminium in the CO2 Standards for Cars Material-Credit Mechanism</title>
<description><div class="intro block-container"><p> Brussels, 3 September 2026 – European Aluminium and the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) jointly call on the European Parliament and the Council to ensure that European aluminium is eligible alongside steel under the material-credit mechanism proposed in the revision of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, proposal 2025/0420 (COD).</p></div>
<div class="cntnt block-container">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both materials should be eligible within a single, technology-neutral compensation mechanism and subject to robust, harmonised carbon-intensity thresholds and verification rules. These criteria should be consistent with the methodologies being developed for both steel and aluminium under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This approach would give car manufacturers greater flexibility in meeting their regulatory obligations, support European lead markets for low-carbon materials and preserve the ability of automotive engineers to select the most appropriate material for each application</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Irish Presidency Steering Note of 30 July confirms broad support among Member States for recognising lowcarbon steel through the proposed credit mechanism. The note presents the mechanism both as a flexibility for vehicle manufacturers and as a means of creating demand for low-carbon materials produced in Europe. <strong>Importantly, it also invites delegations to consider including low-carbon aluminium within credit system</strong>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Including aluminium would be consistent with the wider objectives of the Industrial Accelerator Act. As recalled in the Steering Note, the IAA identifies both steel and aluminium as strategic sectors of Europe’s industrial base and recognises the need for stronger demand-side measures to support their decarbonisation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Our recommendations</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We call on the co-legislators to amend Article 5b so that low-carbon steel and low-carbon aluminium are both eligible under the proposed material-credit mechanism.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A well-designed mechanism should:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>provide flexibility for car manufacturers;</li>
<li>create demand for verified low-carbon aluminium and steel produced in Europe;</li>
<li>maintain fair competition and technology neutrality between materials;</li>
<li>support lightweighting and vehicle energy efficiency;</li>
<li>rely on robust, harmonised and transparent carbon-accounting rules; and</li>
<li>strengthen the competitiveness and decarbonisation of Europe’s automotive and aluminium and steel value<br>chains.<br></li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The objective should be to reward the use of low-carbon European materials and accelerate industrial decarbonisation—not to create a regulatory preference for one material over another. <strong>By recognising both steel and aluminium, the EU can establish a more balanced, effective and future-proof mechanism that supports car manufacturers, European material producers and the Union’s broader climate and industrial objectives</strong>.</p>
